Well, duh. They have a female front. They're nothing like their male fronted analogs. Ev is closer to Linkin Park or one of those bands than to LC. They have the benefit of not containing scratching, and msotly being rap free, but are mostly similar (Moreso than different).

Female-Fronted music isn't much different than male-fronted music of the same style. but it does seem people are more likely to draw comparisons. My favorite is Melissa Ferrick being compared to Melissa Etheridge and Ani DiFranco. You know the only comparison there? They're all lesbians. Ferrick is a LITTLE similar to Etheridge, but NOTHING like DiFranco. Even then, Ferrick and Etheridge don't sound enough alike for any comparison...Until you know they're gay. Then, of course, it all becomes clear.

BTW, Evanescence is a cheap Stone Coyotes knock-off. Hey, they're both female-fronted.
